Kandi Burruss Claps Back at Reporter’s Suggestion About Tamar Braxton as a Guest
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, the talented singer and reality star, Kandi Burruss, discussed her popular ‘Old Lady Gang’ restaurant and her previous reality show, ‘Kandi & The Gang.’ She revealed that she has been considering the possibility of reviving the show but hinted that she and her husband, Todd Tucker, might explore airing it on a different network to reach a wider audience.
When the reporter suggested that Tamar Braxton could be a potential guest if the series makes a comeback, things took an unexpected turn. Kandi was quick to respond, stating firmly, “You will not be bringing her up in my interview.” This moment highlighted Kandi’s desire to maintain control over her narrative and the topics discussed in her interviews.
Understanding Kandi Burruss’s Disinterest in Tamar Braxton
For those who may not be familiar with the background, Tamar Braxton previously criticized Kandi’s OLG restaurant, claiming that it was not well-received and even described it as “nasty.” In a clip shared by @stoppfeenin on X (formerly Twitter), Tamar expressed her thoughts candidly, stating, “Nobody has yet said how nasty Old Lady is yet. Nobody! Why? And that is a known thing here in Atlanta.” This negative commentary created a stir within the community, and Kandi’s quick reaction reflects her awareness of past tensions.
Tamar went on to elaborate that when individuals contemplate dining out, OLG is seldom on their radar. She asserted that even if customers encounter cold food or incorrect orders, they still have to pay for their meals, indicating that customer dissatisfaction is a serious concern for the establishment.
“Nobody is saying, B*h where we going to eat? B*h let’s go to Old Lady Gang WHO? Let’s just be honest, is we being honest? I’m just being honest.”
Despite the shade thrown by Tamar three years ago, she later clarified her stance in February, saying that there is no ongoing feud with Kandi. In a clip shared by TheJasmineBrand, she mentioned, “It was a three-year-old video. I don’t know how it came to see the light of day. I don’t really give a st. I wish everybody well, I’m not into drama anymore.” This statement indicates a desire to move past any negativity and focus on positivity moving forward.
